Vince is a natural athlete. I think he opened up a lot of eyes last summer.
Their pitcher did a great job. He kept the ball down, moved it in and out and generally kept us off-balance. And we didn't do a very good job attacking the ball today at all.
Everything kind of clicked today, luckily. I can call all the plays I want to, but it takes them to execute.
We just got beat by a better team today. We couldn't overcome a lot of two-run spurts.
He's banged up. We're taking a much more conservative approach with him this season. He's two weeks into his therapy sessions. Hopefully, he'll be ready to throw two or three innings against East Aurora (Saturday).
The second time through they had a much better approach and were aggressive at the plate and drilled the ball. We just took too many strikes today. That's not the approach that we want or need to take.
If that's an omen for the season, it's going to be long one.
We've got some positions that still are up for grabs.
The second inning was better than his first. He had some nice pop, but when you can't get your second and third pitch over (the plate), teams are just going to sit dead red on the fastball and drive it.
